Royal Evo - Multiplex
I just took a look at the manual for the Royal Evo on the MultiplexUSA website
http://www.multiplexrc.com/tx_royal_evo.htm
and it looks like it can do just about everything.
Any word on shift selectability.
I would love to have one transmitter that controls all my planes (some are on different channels and/or different shift modes). My RD6000 handles the latter so I've been trying to set up all Rx's on the same frequency/channel.
I would love to see the following:
User selects the aircraft upon turn on:
Tx adjusts to that Frequency (not transmitting rf)
Tx adjusts to the proper shift
Tx on the proper aircraft
Tx prompts for user to ok frequency/shift/aircraft/rf transmit on next turn off than on
What do you guys think.
I was told by some RC'ers when in Europe a few years ago that the Multiplex technologies were more advanced than the US/Japanese versions available in the US - This appears to be right after looking at the manual.
Do other radios compete in this price range? does more money (high end JR or Futaba) give you this much capability?
Let me know what you think?
If I can get the shift selectable the way I would like it, I can put this on my X-mas list and sell my surplus.
Cheers

RE: Royal Evo - Multiplex
Mike,
Thanks for the reply. How is the shift and rf selected - part of aircraft selection?
Is there a user manual update?
Thanks

RE: Royal Evo - Multiplex
The latest software upgrade has shift select in software for the US language version. I don't know if it is specific to each model memory or global.
The frequency synthesiser does not hold frequencies per model memory, it is a global setting. This is deliberate for safety reasons.
There is a massive thread on rcgroups.com at the moment, with a vast amount of information and help on how to convert to Multiplex from the Japanese radios and how to use the Evo. I recommend that you go and have a look, the thread has almost become a "Don Edberg" third party programming book.
As a very rough guide, the Evo's programming capabilities lie somewhere between the Futaba9C and Futaba 9Z, a 9Z can do some things that an Evo can't do, but an Evo is more flexible than a 9Z, and it has the option of 12 channels, scanner, channel check, software upgrades via internet, PC backup of all those on board memories etc. The Evo is a very capable radio but it is a long way short of being able to do everything. It is not Multiplex's top radio, the Profi 4000 is still far ahead of them all.

RE: Royal Evo - Multiplex
Thanks for the replies.
After reading all the posts I'm optimistic that the RE is the right radio for me.
I'll be reading some manuals as well as writing Santa a letter.
Cheers

If You like the EVO, then you'll be blown away with the Multiplex MC 4000

Dear Santa:
I've been a good little boy and have not crashed any planes this year. I woud like a Royal Evo 12 for Christmas.
Thank you very much, sir.

RE: Royal Evo - Multiplex
I think the MC4000 is out of my price range and I don't know if it'll do 1 of my primary objectives:
Get rid of all my other transmitters and still be able to control all my aircraft (15+ and growing) that are on miscellaneous frequencies and shifts.
Anywhere I can download a preview vof features or a manual like the RE?

RE: Royal Evo - Multiplex
When you create a new model, you set the shift select.
The EVO will keep this choice with each model.
Changing channels involves another setup and is not model depedent.
The shift select process is set up in a way to prevent you from accidently broadcasting an in-use channel.
If the channel was set with the model, merely changing the model might cause you to shoot someone down.

RE: Royal Evo - Multiplex
If the radio did a frequency scan first before turning on the RF, then this wouldn't be a problem.
It has that capability ... doesn't it ... like the POLK Tracker II.
If it has that capability, then it's a software issue !
